These new tracks remind me of the strangeness found on Standing On The Shoulders of giants, except with rave beats.


I prefer these new tracks over the last albums material, which i hated.

BUT i miss the cool crunchy guitar riffs that youd get in old oasis.

The singles music is pretty boring but liams voice makes the song cool.

Glad Noel has ditched the fake american singing accent he picked up on the last album also.

Noel cant sing - he should stick with the guitar, cant stand anything he's sung on

Leave in to Liam

Didnt you like Little By Little, i think thats a great Noel track 

[mrlee]

just saw the new vid on TV.

Its fucking tripped out!

[mdttkk]

saw them live a few days ago.  definitely one of the best shows ive ever seen.  awesome new songs, and liam and noel were both awesome!  and noel has a great voice, all his songs kick ass!

[Ignatius]

I dont really like the new songs that much. As a fan, they are ok, but Oasis proves, once again, they have definitely lost their edge - and what's worse - it doesnt seem like they'll get it back anytime soon.

In every single album since "BHN" I've heard the same reviews/comments by fans and or even band members themselves. Things like "This is the best album we've done in the past decade", "This is the best album since Whats the Story" "We are going to kick your ass..." but then, the album just doesnt live up to the expectations.

Oasis last two studio albums, HC and DBTT are simply put, shit. I did enjoy some of the songs from DBTT but that was it. I was not overall impressed like I was with their first three albums. Even BHN is a thousand times better than their last two efforts.

Well, at least I got to see them live when they were unstoppable in 1997.

[mrlee]

i never get the dislike for BHN, i think i like that more than Whats the story.

[mdttkk]

i never get the dislike for BHN, i think i like that more than Whats the story.

me neither, i love BHN and wish they would include some songs in their setlist from that album.  also i think every album is terrific except for some songs on DBTT.  Heathen chemistry is a kickass album!

Okay, we admit it. Upon first viewing the YouTube clip of Noel Gallagher getting knocked on his ass by an unnamed assailant during last night's Oasis set at the Virgin Festival, we LOL'd. Kind of a lot. Perhaps we even felt a smidgen of schadenfreude, too. But it would seem those reactions were a bit premature. According to a message just posted to their website, Oasis are taking the matter very seriously.

In addition to providing perspective on what happened, the Oasis statement reveals a couple significant details surrounding the incident: 1. Although Noel Gallagher returned to perform after getting knocked over, he was taken to a hospital following the show and examined for "a suspected fractured rib and ligament damage," and 2. The assailant was detained by police and "will be charged with assault."

UPDATE: According to the Toronto Star, the attacker is 47-year-old Daniel Sullivan.

What's more, presumably due to Noel's injuries, it's not clear yet whether Oasis will perform as scheduled in London, Ontario tomorrow night (September 9).

Here's that statement in full:

Oasis' Noel Gallagher was attacked by an unidentified man during the band's show in Toronto last night. While Noel and the band were performing "Morning Glory", the assailant ran on from the back of the stage and pushed Noel from behind, who fell heavily on to his monitor speakers.

Despite his injuries, Noel returned to the stage a few minutes later to complete the band's set but was taken to hospital after the show to be examined for a suspected fractured rib and ligament damage. The assailant was detained in police custody and will be charged with assault.

No decision has been made regarding Tuesday's concert in London, Ontario, but fans are urged to keep checking the band's web site Oasisinet.com and local media for updates.

As if all that weren't bad enough, NME.com reports that former Jam frontman Paul Weller was rumored to appear with Oasis at Virgin Festival to play his part in "Champagne Supernova", but that the assault incident dashed those plans.

Pitchfork also talked to Matt Bowman, frontman for UK press darlings and fellow Virgin Festival performers the Pigeon Detectives, who claims he was "just bang in front of Noel" when the attacker came at the elder Gallagher.

"It looked like [Noel] was in quite a lot of pain," according to Bowman. "It was pretty shit-cheap shot-- just from the back, and Noel didn't expect it coming. It certainly wiped him out."

Bowman described himself and his bandmates as being "literally dumbstruck" by the proceedings. "I mean, we had never seen anything like it...it put quite a damper on the mood."

Bowman also shared a rare Pigeon Detectives B-side with us. It's called "Get the Message" and it's available for download below.

this is unbelievable.  just saw them a few days ago and i could never imagine something like this happening.  security seems to be a joke nowadays, and especially at a festival you would think that they would step up the security.  i hope noel recovers fast and they take every penny from that coward as he rots in jail.  things like this really piss me off.  oasis barely tour canada and now something like this happens.  saddens me too at the same time.

[Howard2k]

I'm not a huge Oasis fan, but what kind of retard goes to a show and then does something like that.


Fucking stupid.  I hope they throw the book at him.

[Giant_Robot]

Remeber when GN'R did Download in 2006 ? 

Did you see liam go afther the 47 year old douche bag ?   

[Izzy]

If he had a knife we'd be talking about the late Noel Gallagher - what the hell were security doing??

Well done Noel for finishing the set with broken ribs - Axl would have gone home if someone had even looked at him

[GeraldFord]

Cool. I like pretty much everything they have done. Looking forward to this one.
